Paul Darrow
track this artist
PAUL DARROW, born 1921.
Los Angeles Times art critic, Suzanne Muchnic wrote, "Darrow admits to having difficulty throwing anything away, particularly objects that have been transformed by weather, age or human intervention. Eventually these irresistible materials migrate from one collage to another until they find a home." When Paul's studio was flooded a few years ago by a winter storm, damaging artwork and fresh paper, he worked the remnants into a new series of collages! Darrow is well known also for his life-long interest in an Eastern, philosophically Zen-like approach to the art of living. Paul is nationally renowned as a painter, muralist, watercolorist, etcher, photographer, collage and mixed media artist. Many folks in the Southern California, Laguna Beach area, know him as the skipper of "GLEAM," a Cal 30, sabot racer, for his Talewind cartoons, and also for his exhibitions at the Peter Blake Gallery. Darrow was a professor at Scripps College and Claremont Graduate School. Information submitted as a bulletin by: Kathleen-Marie Snipes, former drawing student (and later one of his classroom models) at Scripps College and Claremont Graduate School.

Mostly derived from the third step of Al-Anon's twelve step program: "(We) made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God, as we understood Him."
This is not necessarily an action recommended outside the context of a spiritual program of recovery.
This is perhaps a rather over-used catch-phrase within the Christian Community. I've certainly heard it often enough.
However, where ever it's origins, it's taken on more of a mantra effect...something's gone wrong, I can't get control of my life, and the obvious advice is...
But that's wrong. You can't give control to God if you don't have a relationship with Him.
The whole idea of having a close personal relationship with God, while having been submerged for a number of centuries by the Holy Roman Catholic Church, (who wanted all of the salvific stuff to go through them, rather than direct line) has found an re-emergence in recent centuries. (My thanks to those who pointed this out in detail.)
If God is just this nebulous being of power whom you worship, then control is more of a matter of fate, and you probably make most of your daily decisions on an immediate basis.
On the other hand...If you truly are in a state of Faith Seeking Understanding, then God is someone you're trying to grow closer to, and to whom you can truly begin to turn control over to.
Just as forgiveness, truly, is admitting that God can handle justice much better than yourself, "letting God" is a state of seeking God's guidance and support in life, rather than just depending on your own understanding. But unless that state of seeking and willingness is there... it's just an empty phrase.

With playoffs and championships on the line, some of our coaches & parents may not have exhibited the best sideline behavior last weekend. Remember, the kids are watching you and will be mimicking your actions throughout life (including in your home). Set the good example. Positive words to the players, silence to the referees.

It's a busy weekend for SM AYSO, whether you have a game or not. Please keep up the perfect record we had last weekend on our artificial turf fields - water only!

All U12 & U14 Championship games will be played at JAMS on Sunday. All U10 Championship games will be played at Clover Park on Sunday. Read more »
All season long our referees having been noting the conduct of coaches, players & spectators at every game. Three teams emerged with top scores in U10G, U12B & U14G. Most notable was the Pink Dominators, lead by Coach Mark Young & Assistant Coach Mark Fuchs in U10Girls. When they won, they won with class. When they lost, the players gracefully accepted defeat but never gave up. All along the way, they had a brave set of parents supporting them. Thanks for representing Santa Monica AYSO so well and enjoy your Sportsmanship prizes.
As our season comes to a close for all of our U6 & U8 teams, and many of our U10, U12 & U14 teams, we'd like to dedicate this Saturday as Referee Appreciation Day (RAD). We want to recognize the men, women, and youth who volunteer their time to make sure our kids are able to play a safe, fun and fair game of soccer each week. Read more »
Save the date! Even though the playing season may be over for many teams this weekend, there are games to be seen, people to meet, medals to be had, photos delivered, make-up photos being taken, parties to attend and much more on our Championship Day / Closing Day. Division-specific information will be sent to your directly early next week.
We will also be accepting donations of cleats for needy kids in Tanzania and uniforms for needy kids in LA on that day. Read more »
Spring Select and All Star coaches will select the strongest players from the region who really want to play soccer and will make a commitment to the team for the duration of the spring season. Spring Select and All Star teams will work together and play tournaments from January or February until May or June. Selected players from divisions U10 and above are eligible to participate.
Upper Division Spring teams must wait until the end of the high school season to begin their spring tournament. Read more »
Playoff schedules are being finalized and will be posted at 9am today. Any games appearing on any schedule are only tentative until we announce that they are final. Please ignore them until then.
Thank you.
We wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving this weekend. We are very thankful to all of the volunteers who have made this season possible for our children.
There will be no regular season games this weekend.
Final games for U6 & U8 will be played a week from Saturday, on December 4. U10, U12 & U14 will begin their playoffs that day as well, with playoffs continuing on Sunday, December 5. Save the date.

The Question is:
Could you please tell me if TOS (type of service) is supported with in the UCX TCP/IP bundle that is provided with NAS 150. If it is not supported, are there any plans to incoperate TOS support into the UCX product? Can you supply a list of alternate TCP/IP for Open VMS products that are avaliable from Digital which do support TOS? Is it possible to get a credit on the TCP/IP UCX product that ships as part of NAS 150 if one of these other products are purchased ?
The Answer is:
TOS is not presently supported. Since this is the first request for that I have seen, it has not previously been on our list of requirements for a future release. We shall add it to potential new features/functions to add. I know of no other packages on OpenVMS which offer the functionality. Digital does not sell other TCP/IP implementations which run on OpenVMS, to the best of my knowledge.

Norwegian Spirit Cruise Review by Tatiou: Wonderful Mediterranean Cruise
Member Rating
Compare Prices on Norwegian Spirit Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruises
Wonderful Mediterranean Cruise
We are just back from the July 22nd sailing out of Barcelona. What a wonderful trip we had. 12 days, 10 cities, and 5 countries!
The Boat: Smaller than other NCL boats weve sailed with in the past (GEM & DAWN). Public spaces were nice and I quite enjoyed the layout of this ship. Stardust at the back was nice. We enjoyed Henrys pub and Galaxy of the Stars. Everything was clean. Some of the outside deck was being changed while on our trip (deck 7). This prevented us from walking around. Buffet was chaotic at best and the pool situation / deck chairs needs to be address pronto.
Our Stateroom: We were in Stateroom 8006 (outside unobstructed). Being a germ freak I must say this was the cleanest stateroom weve ever had. Kudos to our stewardess Marian. We didnt spend a lot of time in our stateroom therefore it was good enough for us.
The good: The main dining rooms were nice and the food was warmer than what we had previously experienced. It was More
also better (some of the meals are the same on every boat). Service was prompt and everything was nicely cooked. Dont get me wrong, this is not a 5 star restaurant but a very nice option for the price of the cruise.
The not so good: Breakfast was not NCLs strong point. 12 days of the same food at the buffet and in the Main dining rooms was depressing and should be addressed. There should be some variety.
The service: In one word, impeccable. Everyone was friendly and nice; anything that could be done was done. Armando and his team were superb.
Entertainment: First off, the cruise director, Paolo, could not stand him. He was quite annoying and somewhat creepy. Unlike other cruises, couldnt even tell you who the assistant cruise director was. We went to see 1 show in the theater. Not worth our time. The lounge pianist in the Champagne Bar was horrible with his bad midi track playing in the background. One of the only places that need a lot of improvements.
Ports of call:
Toulon : Beautiful little gem. Took the little train 6 per person for the day, visited the beach and then town / market. Quite fun and relaxing day.
Livorno: Split a cab (8 people) for 45 per person to Florence and Pisa. Worth it! We had the best pizza of all our trip. Loved walking around Florence. Pisa was busy and a lot of pressure sellers with fake watches and little things.
Civitavecchia: Took the train to Rome and visited the Vatican. Book your tickets ahead, the lines are crazy. Climbed up the Dome and say the Basilica. Very big day.
Naples: Did the CBM (Cant Be Missed tour) 65 each of the Amalfi Coast, Sorrento and Pompeii. Choose your group carefully.
Mykonos: Too short! Enjoyed the beach and a little food in port. Would have enjoyed a longer stay.
Istanbul: BEAUTIFUL. Visited the Blue Mosque, Grand Bazar, Spice and Egyptian Market. Walked the bridge back to the ship. Restaurateurs on the bridge are not pleasant and pushy.
Izmir: Had a great tour of Ephesus and a carpet coop. Very interesting.
Athens: Saw the sights and had we known would have hired a car driver rather than the hop on hop off bus. 20 and stuck in the traffic in intense heat. Best Greek meal at a little place close to Syntagma square
Venice: Walked and walked and visited. Check out the little shops and just get lost in the city. Worth the night on the town.
Embarkation and disembarkation: Best embarkation by far weve ever had. Somewhat of a busy disembarkation and the port in Venice did not help.
Overall, a fantastic trip. The ship does not make or break a vacation. You do. Remember this! Less

Neighborhood Stabilization Program:
HUD and Grantees Are Taking Actions to Ensure Program Compliance but Data on Program Outputs Could be Improved

Congress created the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) to help reduce the number of foreclosed and abandoned properties and restore depressed local housing markets. The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA) authorized the program's first round (NSP 1), providing $3.92 billion in grant funds to states and local governments. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) administers the program. HERA mandated that GAO report on whether grantees were using NSP 1 funds in accordance with the act's criteria. For this mandate, GAO examined (1) grantees' progress and challenges in meeting NSP 1 obligation and income-targeting requirements, (2) HUD's actions to mitigate program risks and ensure grantees' compliance with key NSP 1 requirements, and (3) HUD's efforts to collect program data and assess program performance. To address these objectives, GAO analyzed HUD data and the information system used for NSP 1; interviewed HUD officials and representatives of NSP 1 grantees; analyzed HUD's internal control processes; and conducted limited tests of 8 grantees' compliance with key NSP 1 requirements.
According to HUD data, the vast majority of the 309 NSP 1 grantees obligated their funds within the required 18-month time frame. As a result, over 99 percent of NSP 1 funds were obligated as of early October 2010. Also, consistent with HERA criteria, most grantees obligated at least 25 percent of their funds for housing for low-income households. Some grantees with whom GAO spoke modified their NSP 1 strategies to meet obligation deadlines and overcome other challenges such as competition from private investors in acquiring foreclosed and abandoned homes. For instance, with HUD approval, some grantees expanded the geographic areas they were targeting. Grantees also participated in banks' "first look" programs, which give grantees the chance to bid on bank-owned properties before other potential buyers. HUD provided training, guidance, and technical assistance to grantees to address new requirements and risks posed by NSP 1. Although the grantees GAO spoke with were generally satisfied with HUD's guidance and program support, some said these efforts would have been more useful if provided earlier. HUD officials said that some of the assistance grantees found useful was delivered using funds that HUD received well after the start of NSP 1. HUD also established various internal control processes for NSP 1 and hired additional staff to help oversee the program. HUD field office staff conducted remote monitoring of all grantees and on-site monitoring for 176 grantees that HUD considered to be higher risk. Although HUD is still aggregating the results of its on-site monitoring, available results from the four field offices GAO contacted generally showed compliance with key NSP 1 requirements but also found some financial management deficiencies. HUD is requiring grantees to take corrective actions, where appropriate. GAO's review of records for 32 properties at 8 grantees found no instances of significant noncompliance with key NSP 1 requirements. To collect information on NSP 1, HUD adapted an existing financial and information system--the Disaster Recovery Grant Reporting (DRGR) system--and provided training and guidance on its use. HUD has used the system to monitor NSP 1 grantees' obligations and summarize program outputs for specific types of activities (rehabilitation and construction, demolition, and homeownership assistance). However, variation in the way grantees entered information into DRGR makes it difficult to summarize outputs for each activity (e.g., housing units acquired) without undercounting, and overall outputs (e.g., total benefiting households) without overcounting. HUD has developed a method for addressing the overcounting problem, but insufficient guidance to grantees and HUD field staff may be contributing to variation in data entry that limits the usefulness of DRGR output information. For example, HUD has not provided grantees with specific written guidance on selecting output measures, which can lead to inconsistency among grantees. HUD is planning an assessment of NSP outcomes that will focus primarily on the program's second round (NSP 2) but will also include NSP 1 in geographic areas where the two phases of the program overlap. GAO recommends that HUD provide additional guidance to NSP grantees and HUD field staff to help ensure that information on output measures is collected in HUD's data system in a more consistent manner. HUD agreed with the report's recommendations.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: HUD addressed this recommendation by issuing detailed guidance in October 2012 on how to report the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) grantee accomplishments in the Disaster Recovery Grant Reporting (DRGR) system. Among other topics, the guidance explains how grantees should group activities and select related output measures. A HUD official stated that HUD field staff will be using this guidance in conjunction with the QPR checklist in performing their quarterly reviews of grantee information in DRGR.
Recommendation: To ensure the consistency of data collection in DRGR and enhance the reporting of program outputs for all rounds of NSP, the Secretary of HUD should update the Quarterly Performance Reports (QPR) review checklist to include reviews of whether grantees are (1) grouping activities in accordance with HUD instructions and (2) selecting the appropriate output measures for different activities.

Spurs reshape squad without Bale
Clubs will never shy away from trying to strengthen themselves on the pitch. Here now are the most expensive signings of all-time.
After so much meticulous and methodical groundwork this summer, all did not go quite according to plan for Tottenham on Sunday. The club went into their derby against Arsenal knowing that soon after the final whistle the Gareth Bale transfer saga would be officially concluded. The statements had been written, the announcement was imminent.
It was never going to be a celebratory moment, even though the Bale sale is jaw-dropping business, but in the end the timing hurt. Tottenham had made the four mile journey across London with their exciting cluster of newly signed players, hoping to demonstrate that life after Bale brims with promise. Naturally, one result means very little in terms of how they are trying to rebuild. But what a 1-0 defeat at Arsenal did show is that whatever promise they have, it is going to take time for it to blossom.
There is quite a balancing act that Andre Villas-Boas has to get right before he is in a position to get the best out of the new team they have assembled. Of the eleven sent out against Arsenal, four were signed this summer, three arrived this time last year, and two spent last season on loan elsewhere. Only Michael Dawson and Kyle Walker could be considered old hands when it comes to life at Tottenham.
Tempting as it is to get carried away when a flurry of players join a club, it is unrealistic to think everyone will click, and adapt to a different team in a different country, instantly. The Spurs players did a prematch huddle: it was hardly surprising they needed to give the impression of bonding considering how little these men must know each other.
They have yet to build up on-pitch understandings so that they can anticipate each other's movement and passing. Those connections need to be built through repetitive practice. "It is something we have to work on," said Villas-Boas. "I think it will come with time because the ability is there. It's not a concern."
What was immediately obvious is the size and physical power of the players that have come in. In midfield, Paulinho, Etienne Capoue (who picked up an injury) and Nacer Chadli all pack a big presence, in addition to the strong midfielders they already have in Mousa Dembele and Sandro.
Upon that foundation, adding finesse and creativity is key. The question of how quickly Eric Lamela and Christian Eriksen can settle in and impose themselves is key to how soon Tottenham can begin to express themselves. Up front, Roberto Soldado has been a little isolated this season. So far, in three Premier League games, Tottenham have yet to score a goal from open play.
Virtuoso goals out of nothing were something of a Bale specialty. Tottenham knew that they could not go out and buy a replica Bale, so they decided to reshape the team by purchasing a number of players to effectively share the responsibilities one man shouldered.
But the change Spurs are seeking cannot happen overnight. They not only have to balance their team, they also need to balance expectations. It's the nature of modern football that new players generate excitement. The snowball effect as more and more arrived at White Hart Lane meant that the sense of anticipation has been palpable. A number of high profile critics felt compelled to tip Tottenham not just to break into the top four, but to challenge for the Premier League title.
Andre Villas-Boas' side will look to regroup at White Hart Lane against Norwich City on Sept. 14 (Image: Andrew Couldridge/Action Images).
Losing at Arsenal appeared not to dent Villas-Boas's big ideas at all. "We have great confidence this could be our season," he said.
Maybe it wouldn't hurt to be a little more low-key about the campaign, to ease some of the high-pitched expectations. Stressing the need to take things gently wouldn't do them any harm at all.
If they talk themselves down, the breathing space they need to start moving onwards upwards should be a relief.

Anderson Cooper has, at long last, publicly said he is gay. Cooper made the announcement in an email to writer Andrew Sullivan. "The fact is, I'm gay, always have been, always will be, and I couldn't be any more happy, comfortable with myself, and proud," he wrote. Cooper's sexuality has long been the subject of ample media speculation, but he has never publicly confirmed it -- a fact which he also seemed to address in the email to Sullivan. Cooper also said that he ultimately decided that he was doing more harm than good by not speaking up.

And there are so many Bucks night and day party ideas Wollongong that no matter what the groom to be is interested in, planning out a perfect event is easier than ever.

Bucks Party Ideas In Wollongong

The fees are surprisingly low considering what you receive, and are the perfect complement to any Bucks party. You and your mates can drink and party the night away with beautiful women, host a poker party with topless waitresses and dealers, and give the groom one final reminder of what he'll be missing as a married man. But there are plenty of Bucks night and day party ideas Wollongong that move beyond these common elements and elevate it to something more.
If the buck facing marriage is a thrill seeker, why not include a skydiving trip in your Bucks night and day party ideas Wollongong? He's already taking the plunge into matrimony, so a plunge out of an airplane shouldn't be too much of a leap and it will give him and you something to remember for a lifetime. A day at the local climbing gym can be great fun as well. You can even stop off at the wildlife park or rent some kayaks and canoes for an adventure in the outdoors. Wollongong is host to dolphin cruises and some of the best miniature golf in Australia, so you can create a day and night long combination of activities.
A Bucks party is the best way to see your mate off into the married life in style. But as the best man, planning it is a responsibility that will likely fall on your shoulders. Take a quick look at all of the Bucks night and day party ideas Wollongong and you will be able to pick out the ones that suit the groom-to-be's tastes perfectly, whether it's a night of drinking and women or a day of skydiving and ATV riding. From there, it is only a matter of waiting until the date of your Bucks party. The wait will be much harder than the actual planning process, but worth every second.

DNA vaccination is a disruptive technology that offers the promise of a new rapidly deployed vaccination platform to treat human and animal disease with gene-based materials. Innovations such as electroporation, needle free jet delivery and lipid-based carriers increase transgene expression and immunogenicity through more effective gene delivery. This review summarizes complementary vector design innovations that, when combined with leading delivery platforms, further enhance DNA vaccine performance. These next generation vectors also address potential safety issues such as antibiotic selection, and increase plasmid manufacturing quality and yield in exemplary fermentation production processes. Application of optimized constructs in combination with improved delivery platforms tangibly improves the prospect of successful application of DNA vaccination as prophylactic vaccines for diverse human infectious disease targets or as therapeutic vaccines for cancer and allergy.Keywords:

Running Time: 120 Min.
Company: Pandemonium
Leah Luv, Nikki Nievez, Kat (I), Tina Fine
Critical Rating: A
Genre: All-Sex
Pandemonium usually has their act together, but Teen Anal Adventures 2 is marred by a huge quality control snafu.
Why? Because Leah Luv and KC star don't even get cornholed. Because Nikki Nievez's scene is stretched to the incorrect screen ratio. Because Tina Fine's scene has no beginning; it starts midway through sans chapter break. (For fans, Luv squirts at least five times.)
Retailing: A five-squirter gives the value to this otherwise unadventurous title.

Last night news broke that legendary VC firms Sequoia and Bain Capital were investing $41 million in photo sharing app Color.
And that was before it had launched.
The people behind Color have impressive resumes, so the investment could be justified on that level. Two prominent names among Color's founders: Bill Ngyuen, who sold music sharing app Lala to Apple, and Peter Pham formerly CEO of BillShrink.
Regardless of those names, it caused people in the tech world to start hyperventilating. After all, it is a lot of money. And it is in a crowded space.
But those people hadn't played with the app. Maybe Color is amazing. Maybe it will earn Sequoia and Bain a crazy return on their money.
We took Color for a short spin this morning.
We have bad news for those VCs. On first blush, the haters are right. It's a strange experience, not worth $41 million.
But, it's the early days, so there's still a chance it could be a hit. Never say never. Especially when a company has enough cash in the bank to pivot, iterate, or do whatever it takes to be a success.
Now, see what all the fuss is about ...
The haters are right about this one so far.

'5 million robbery, theft cases unreported in 2011'
By Na Jeong-ju
The number of unreported cases of robbery and theft could be approximately 18 times higher than the official tally, the National Police Agency (NPA) said Wednesday. An NPA report on 'Äúhidden crimes'ÄĚ showed that most victims of robbery and theft tend to avoid reporting it to police for many reasons 'Äē because they are afraid of possible retaliation, they don'Äôt believe police will protect them or because neighbors or relatives are involved in the crimes. The agency developed an index for hidden robberies and cases of theft following a survey on 1,200 people aged between 18 and 80. The index for such crimes which occurred in 2011 was 18.027, which means that the number of unreported cases could be about 18 times higher than the number of cases reported. 'ÄúOur tally shows some 281,362 cases of robbery and theft were reported last year. The index means that more than 5 million cases of robbery and theft actually occurred,'ÄĚ an NPA spokesman said. The report came amid public uproar over a series of sexual assaults against minors and women. The agency suggested that there could be many more rape victims than known because the reporting rate for sex crimes is lower than those for other crimes. According to the Korean Institute of Criminology, only 11 percent of sex offense victims sought help from police in 2008. Almost half of sex crimes that occurred last year were committed by convicted sex offenders, according to another police report. The NPA said it will also develop an index for unreported sex crimes. 'ÄúThe results suggest that police should work harder to gain public trust and develop better protection programs for victims,'ÄĚ said Lee Chang-hoon, a criminology professor of Hannam University who led the research. 'ÄúThey also need to take necessary measures to ensure public security in crime-prone areas.'ÄĚ The agency said it will step up patrols in residential areas and schools, and increase street lights and surveillance cameras in public places. |

Semiconducting polymer waveguides for end-fired ultra-fast optical amplifiers
Optics Express, Vol. 17, Issue 24, pp. 21452-21458 (2009)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (225 KB)
A method to fabricate conjugated polymer waveguides with well defined edge facets is demonstrated. The utility of the approach is explored for application as end-fired ultrafast optical amplifiers based on poly(9,9'-dioctylfluorene-co-benzothiadiazole). An internal gain of 19 dB was achieved on a 760 µm long waveguide at 565 nm wavelength. This fabrication procedure may be applied to a wide range of conjugated polymers and organic light-emitting devices, providing an important step towards future applications of organic integrated photonics.

Encouraging a Market in Human MilkSarah WaldeckSeton Hall University - School of Law Columbia Journal of Gender and Law, Vol. 11, No. 361, 2002 Seton Hall Public Law Research Paper No. 2007-005 Abstract: This article argues that the American legal regime should encourage a market in human milk - the superior source of infant nutrition. It describes the already-existing milk banking system in the United States and posits that building on this model and compensating women who express milk would increase the number of babies receiving breast milk in at least three ways. First, and most obvious, we can expect the promise of a profit to motivate more women to pump milk for someone else's use. Second, and less apparent, mothers who might otherwise choose to formula-feed their babies may breastfeed if they know it will lead to another source of income; initiating an adequate milk supply would be difficult without actually nursing a child. Third, and least obvious (although arguably most important), the creation of a niche market may help convey the value of human milk and convince women to breastfeed even if they are not interested in making sales. The article looks closely at how compensation would affect the safety of banked milk and explores how breast milk fits into the larger normative debate about whether we should permit individuals to sell their bodily materials.

Japan obviously has bigger problems than when to start the baseball season, but the Central and Pacific Leagues of the NPB met today to discuss when they should begin the 2011 baseball season in the wake of the tsunami and the mounting nuclear crisis.
The NPB blog Yakyubaka reports that no decision has been made and that, in fact, there's some dispute between the Pacific league and the Central League regarding when to start. The latter is intent on beginning on the original start date of March 25th and the former wants a delay. Notably, more Pacific League teams are closer to the areas that were most devastated in the disaster. Though given the scope of it all, this is an event of national significance, not merely local.
One's gut instinct is to say that baseball should simply stop for the time being. But as we've seen throughout our own history, the interplay between sports and national crisis is more complicated than that. As FDR famously wrote at the outset of World War II when it was suggested that the game be suspended: "I honestly feel that it would be best for the country to keep baseball going." That notion has been echoed many times over the years. There have been delays in sporting events, but they have tended to be short and then, once they resumed, used as rallying points or, at the very least, a sign that normal life can once again resume.
I don't know of these examples are transferable from the American experience to the current Japanese crisis. National psychology is kind of a pseudoscience, but it's not an illusory notion. I couldn't hope to guess what makes more sense for the NPB to do with its schedule right now. All I hope is that the Japanese crisis is sufficiently stabilized and that the Japanese people feel normal enough to play baseball games sometime soon.

I wonder how the stadiums fared. Do they even have a safe place to play a game, I wonder? I remember how useful the Superdome was for the victims of Katrina. I hope the fields are being put to good use while they are idle from baseball. Good luck to them.
- jamie54 - Mar 15, 2011 at 5:00 PM
One of the first rallying points after 9/11 was baseball. Many may not have liked W but I'll never forget the strike he threw when baseball resumed play. Japan loves baseball maybe even moreso than we do over here. People rallying around their teams and a love of the sport could provide much needed relief from the tragedies many have suffered. At some point play will resume, let's hope it provides that relief.
- Bob Timmermann - Mar 15, 2011 at 5:46 PM
The latest is that the Central League will start as normal, but the Pacific League will postpone its opening day indefinitely.
LinkThe NPB schedule has a LOT of off days built into it to make up for rainouts. The Japan Series usually doesn't start until November, so they have time to wait while far more important things are taken care of.
I would assume that Rakuten, which is based in Sendai, is going to need a new home this season. The stadium, called Kleenex Stadium this year, but now just called Miyagi Stadium (for the prefecture) suffered damage in the quake/tsunami.

I marinated it for 10 hours because I just didn't think you could get the most out of this dish with only marinating meat for 30 min. Even the 10 hours didn't help infuse the chicken with real flavor. The proportion of honey to lime was off and the chicken was so bland.
I used regular lime juice and marinated it for 2 hours... we really liked the flavor, but will definitely marinate it overnight next time to strengthen the taste.
I really liked this recipe. It was simple and super easy to make. The trick is to marinate the chicken for at least an hour or two. The key lime taste is great, subtle & delicious. Everyone wanted more!

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Drug May Treat Advanced Kidney Disease
Jan. 11, 2006 -- Doctors in China report that the blood pressure drug Lotensin may help patients with advanced chronic kidney disease.
The doctors write in The New England Journal of Medicine that patients taking Lotensin showed "substantial" kidney benefits.
In those patients -- none of whom had diabetes -- kidney disease progressed more slowly with Lotensin than their peers who took a placebo drug.
The study was done at Nanfang Hospital at Southern Medical University in Guangzhou, China. The hospital has a center for kidney disease care. The researchers included Fan Fan Hou, MD, PhD.
ACE Inhibitors and Kidney Disease
Lotensin is in a class of drugs called ACE inhibitors, which block an enzyme that constricts, or narrows, blood vessels. By doing so, they help lower blood pressure.
Kidney disease can develop over time in association with certain conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes.
ACE inhibitors have already shown benefits to the kidney in people with mild or moderate kidney problems. Using the drugs to treat advanced kidney problems has been more controversial.
This is because ACE inhibitors can pose a potential threat to kidneys as well. The key question was whether damaged kidneys would worsen if patients took ACE inhibitors.
In a nutshell, concerns centered on blood levels of potassium and creatinine, waste products that are excreted by the kidneys. Testing creatinine levels in the blood is used as a way to monitor kidney function.
Taking ACE inhibitors can boost blood levels of potassium and creatinine, which would signify worsening kidney function.
Would that push damaged kidneys over the edge? That's what the Chinese researchers asked.
Chinese Study
Hou's study included 422 people with advanced chronic kidney disease. None of the patients had diabetes. Some also took other drugs to control their blood pressure.
For more than three years, patients either took a placebo or 10 milligrams of Lotensin twice daily. Kidney problems worsened more slowly in those taking Lotensin. Overall, there were no major differences in side effects between patients taking Lotensin or the placebo.
Blood pressure, kidney function, and potassium levels should be monitored in patients with kidney disease who take Lotensin, especially during the first two months that the drug is taken, write the researchers.

Internationalization and Parliamentary Decision-Making : The Case of Sweden 1970-1985

In this essay we discuss effects of growing interdependence and internationalization upon national political institutions. More exactly we address the question of how these processes are reflected in matters handled by the Standing Committees of the Swedish Parliament. Generally speaking, the proportion of international issues has increased continuously during the 1970s and the early 1980s. The internationalization of parliamentary work has mainly taken place outside the area of "traditional" foreign policy. Even though internationalization is a general phenomenon in the Swedish parliament, the enhancement of international issues is particularly evident in subject areas linked to economic life in general, but issues concerning environmental policy, communications and energy policy also bear the stamp of internationalization. In spite of this internationalization of domestic politics the pattern of relations with actors on the international scene seems to be rather stable. The picture is dominated by international organizations in the Scandinavian region and Western Europe. Traditionally, the principle of consensus has governed Swedish security and defence policy. Our data support this notion. However, international issues outside the area of "traditional" foreign policy do not bear the hallmark of consensus. The level of conflict is considerably higher and has risen, especially during the 1980s. Generally speaking, patterns of conflict in international issues do not deviate from those in "pure" domestic policy. Thus, internationalization has also involved domestication regarding the level of conflict.

1. The 4-12 Tampa Bay Buccs
2. Signed 8 free agents including their guy (Lovie Smith's guy) at starting QB. We have no clue what O'Brien intends to do at QB or anywhere else for that matter.
QB - Josh McCown from CHI (former B/U under Lovie wasn't he?)
DE - Michael Johnson from CIN
CB - Alterraun Verner from Tenn
C - Evan Dietrich-Smith from GB
DT - Clinton McDonald from SEA
LB - Jonathan Casillas resigned
OT - Anthony Collins from CIN
TE - Brandon Myers from NYG
The biggest TB F/A loss was Darrelle Revis who, when you think about it, may not have been an idea fit for the Tampa-2 Lovie likes as the basis for his defense.
3. You know who we've lost. We've re-signed one, each, #2 TE.
The end.
Now I have no insight into how well these moves will work for Lovie down in Tampa. Hell they may all fall completely flat. But, by Gawd, at least he seems to be addressing team weaknesses.
Also, since Tampa only has 5 picks in this year's draft, maybe there was more urgency to do something in free agency.
All I want is a warm bed, a kind word,
